## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fantastic Book
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021*

This book is a fantastic resource that places arms and techniques in their historical context. The section that lists the most well known arms manuals by country and date is a great jumping off point for anyone wanting to get a start in HEMA.

    To better understand not just how they fenced
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017*

Richard has done something that historical european martial arts has needed for a long time - context. The fencing cultures of old weren't just affected by the people wielding the sword, but by their worldviews, fashion sense, and ideals surrounding decorum. To better understand not just how they fenced, but *why* is to understand the world around them.Richard's experience as a history teacher shines through - he knows how to combine disparate facts into a narrative that's engaging and human.If you are interested in swords or sword culture, this book is required reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The most fun to read of all the books on the subject.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017*

Of all the HEMA related books I've ever owned, this is by far the most fun one to read. It combines the history of the arts themselves with the history of our current movement to revive them. And I'm not just enjoying it because I'm in it. :)  It really is a great book. If you're in HEMA, or want to know more about medieval and Renaissance martial arts (and their modern revival), then don't think twice. Get the book. It's well worth the price.
